Today Lila had her first taste of ribs, which I dubbed baby back ribs for comedy despite the fact they were actually rib tips. It mostly involved licking the salt off them with very little actual consumption, but it still technically counts. After the ribs, she was treated to a full 2 hours of Sesame Street Live which was not on ice as every person I mentioned it to assumed. It was on wood at the Fox Theatre stage. I was just starting to settle into the idea that this was who I am now, a parent bringing his kid to a kid show when Elmo appeared and the entire place erupted to the point I was looking around to see if some famous celebrity had arrived. An hour into the event, Lila simply could not take any more excitement and we left, but she learned to get excited about Elmo and that's an important social skill.
